From tiny turnips to edible blossoms, we've had lots of fun discovering new ingredients at our farmers' markets lately. Yesterday we came across something truly unusual: bi-colored potatoes! More

As we've mentioned before, a benefit to shopping at your local farmers' market is that you're bound to run into new or unusual ingredients, things that a conventional grocery store doesn't have access to or has perhaps forgotten about. Pullet eggs, or eggs laid by chickens less than one year old, are a great example of this. Read on for more information. More

While much of spring's bounty (like artichokes and asparagus) are still available, all the berries, corn and the first hint of stone fruit at this past weekend's Pasadena Farmers' Market made it feel like summertime. While we wait for peaches and nectarines, what really got us excited were the delicate squash blossoms and their counterparts: summer squash. More

Edible spring blossoms continue to adorn the stands at the Hollywood farmers' market. We found a new one this weekend; do you know what it is? Hint: this delicate white flower sprouts from a controversial, love-it-or-hate-it herb… More

We are endlessly delighted by the seasonally-evolving mix of citrus at our farmers' markets. Last week, we became acquainted with the citrumelo, an orange-grapefruit hybrid.

Flowers are popping up all over the Hollywood farmers' market, and not just the kind you can display in a vase.

At the historic Pearl Brewery building in San Antonio, Texas, there's a 1933 smokestack emblazoned with the word "Pride" (for Texas Pride beer). Although alcohol is no longer produced here, Pride seems an appropriate slogan for the farmers' market that now takes place in the old brewery's shadow. Local pride is abundant at the market, and it's amply justified by the array of high-quality seasonal produce, meat, and artisanal food available here every Saturday morning. More

The Philadelphia Reading Terminal Market has been apart of the city of Philadelphia's history for quite some time now. It's a tourist attraction to people who visit from all over the world, as well as a staple for shopping to many of Philadelphia's residents. More

We truly wrestled with whether to share this report from Sunday's Hollywood farmers' market. On the one hand, we know many of our readers (and writers) live in colder climes than California, and strawberries might not be the most welcome sight if you're having yet another root vegetable meal… More

What a gorgeous way to stay mindful of what kinds of local produce are in season. And even if you don't garden, we love the connectedness of knowing what farmers and gardeners are sowing each month. Krankpress makes these lovely perpetual calendars for west-coasters from Southern California to the Pacific Northwest. More
